Your Somewhat Angry Monday Night Football Open Thread

That was a day yesterday, wasn’t it? We saw some awesomeness and there was some unmitigated crap as well. Speaking of, this Thursday we’ve got the Steelers and Pats facing off. Apparently the O/U is a paltry and disgusting 31 and a half. Are you fucking kidding me? More on this in a bit.

Fallout:

-I usually start this by listing the numerous injuries that occurred Sunday but I’m not going to do that. Well, except for one. Tank Dell. What the hell was Texans OC Slowik thinking, asking Dell to block on an inside power run? Seriously! From the replay it looked like his blocking assignment was safety Justin Simmons. Do you know how much Dell weighs? 165. Simmons is 205. Yeah Tank, block that guy that outweighs you by 40 pounds and do it close quarters. The stupidity just bewilders me.

-More Stupidity: Ron Rivera decided that he would call defensive plays, a thing he hasn’t done since 2018 and enlisted the help of a db coach that isn’t out of his 20’s yet. Seriously? (this word is getting a workout right now) And what was the end result? Play single man coverage on Tyreek Hill. What the fuck? And what did Rivera do after the game? The same thing he did to Jack Del Rio, threw a defensive coach under the bus to deflect from his own bad decisions. Everyone says Riverboat is a nice guy but, I don’t know.

-Futility, Thy Name Is: The Pats have scored 13 points in three games. Sure, teams go thru dry spells for any number of reasons-players that are a poor fit for the system, poor qb-ing, no wr’s to speak of-these are some of the Pats problems. But the thing that bothers me is that New England seems to be intentionally dragging teams down to their level and the end result is unwatchable football. Can’t stand it because Old Bill just smirks away thru the proceedings. Just brutal.

To The Game!

Bengals/Jags:

-Gah! Fill in the blanks down below-I’m pissed and I’ve reached the minimum word limit.

Your turn.

“It’s been awhile since Etienne saw a hole like this.”

Well, maybe he should get on Tinder.

That big?

Jaxon De Villes pivoting shades are pretty awesome.

Oh, God I love/hate this team!

Seems to be a common theme..

He’s not good on the ray route.

At dinner tonight, my two oldest sons indicated that they had a Fight Club with their buddies in our old neighborhood.

Doktor Zymm

First rule of neighborhood Fight Club is tell your dad about neighborhood Fight Club at dinner in a bit

jjfozz

They had a great group of buddies in that neighborhood, and like most groups they also had some outstanding fights.

SonOfSpam

Or, and hear me out, you only have one son and he’s imagining the other one?

jjfozz

They are both all too real.

Watching Browning, and I ain’t frowning.

A long pass?! We can do that?!

BugEyedBoo

Footballs fill the air!

Doktor Zymm

But still no long pig

Mr. Ayo

Now try passing it to Higgins! He exists.

Mr. Ayo

Holy crap, it worked!

BugEyedBoo

Wasted a wish!

fleshwound_NPG

bosa now desperately wants to play in this game and destroy browning

fleshwound_NPG

their play calling is exactly like the bears last week (average distance per throw: 0.25 yards)

fleshwound_NPG

(they heard me)

Redshirt

Bring up the WR screens, horizontal runs and zones the sizes of acres!

Redshirt

Just disconnect Taylor’s connection and have Burrow make the play calls!

Brick Meathook

That kicker’s range is one foot shorter than that distance.

Redshirt

That’s what happens when you run a negative eight yard curl route with your backup QB.

litre_cola

Try to think outside of the box Redshirt!

If you’re that old, and sledding, why even bother with a helmet?

Worst casting choice in the history of cinema.

Pick a 90s video game and an early 2000s movie, put a colon between, and rake in the $$$

Diablo:Madea Goes to Jail
Quake 3:The Hangover
Monkey Island:The Twighlight saga

WCS

I’d watch the first two.

Monkey Island games were great, but I agree that moody vampires might ruin it. OR cheeky pirates will redeem the moody vampires by mocking them

covid resurgence aint got nothin on the wr screen pandemic

Dunstan

If I’m not mistaken, Thursday could bring us the earliest Patriots Schadenfreude Day in a long, long while. Go Stillers!

LemonJello

I’m no mathmagician,but aren’t the P*ts already eliminated from the playoffs?

Dunstan

I don’t think so. NFL site only lists Carolina as eliminated, and I think in theory Pats could win out, finish 7-10, and squeak in on a tiebreaker for the wild card. I haven’t crunched all the conceivable tiebreak scenarios, but presumably there’s at least one that they would win (assuming they win out).

But an eleventh loss would definitely have them out.

Redshirt

What the fuck was that?!

Doktor Zymm

Apsirational fail

Redshirt

Only the Bengals can get their QB sacked as a WR.

Mr. Ayo

I didn’t start on my scotch advent calendar yet because my cold messed up my tastebuds and now I’m in Chicago. I will catch up with you wednesday night!

“The Hercule Poirot” is splashes of 32 different liquors all mixed together so you can’t tell which one made you throw up.

Doktor Zymm

It’s the one that doesn’t have a secret revealed in the first 85% of sips

I’m with you in spirits (if beer is a spirit…today is a dunikelweizen)

Rog looked so uncomfortable having to spend time with people poorer than him.

“Sir, could you please not look directly at me? My assistant will speak for me.”

Pshaw. Like he’d call anybody “sir.” Unless they own a team, of course.

Interesting strategy by the vaunted Bengals D. Being so open, they double-take so hard they hurt themselves.

these dumb meathead coaches going for it all the time now, giving up field position like candy on halloween

and they cannot even spell “analytics”, so do not say they are looking at the numbers

Yeah, 4th & 3 and they do a slow developing play.

Dammit, Zac!

I KNOW HOW I FEEL!

Gumbygirl

The color scheme is pretty dated, but jaguars are very cool. I think Denver’s are worse, I don’t like orange. And Cleveland’s suck too.

Mr. Ayo

By god, I might actually beat Scotchy in the Vodka league. Unless Trevor and Ridley team up for a TD or 2. But that will never happen.

Gumbygirl

Lets’s go Jags! This could be monumental!

And Olivia dressed them both alike tonight.

“Damnit, Eli, stop fidgeting! You loved this outfit when we picked it up at J.C. Penney’s back-to-school sale!”

“Mom I wanna wear the dinosaur sweater!”

Doktor Zymm

Eli is just glad Peyton is willing to buy him juice boxes since he keeps getting carded

WCS

“Getting carded” is their code for “juice money stolen by bullies.”

Col. Duke LaCross

Joe Buck’s ol’ lady is no Matron Saint.

Burping and coughing simultaneously tastes weird.

In case you were wondering.

Doktor Zymm

Just don’t sneeze too, you don’t want burp in your sinuses

WCS

Duly noted. I’ll try farting and sneezing.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Pretty sure that’s called acid reflux, and it’s what killed Ashlee Simpson’s career.

As opposed to the thing that killed Ashli Babbitt, which is called “a bullet”.

Gumbygirl

I thought it was her weird hoppy dance on SNL when she got caught lip synching?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, they claimed she had was lip-synching because her acid reflux was acting up:

You’re correct about the first and third points.

the O/U for pats/stillers is how much

are they playing two games

Gumbygirl

I’m not a degenerate gambler like SOME PEOPLE, but only an idiot would pick the over for the Thursday “game.”

King Hippo

Thing I read today – New England became the first team since 1937 to lose 3x on the spin, while giving up 10 or fewer FITBAW points each time.

FDR was still pretending he could walk – that’s how far back you have to go.

Brick Meathook

Why does our joyless President never dance?

Gumbygirl

How joyful would you be if you had to wake up next to Eleanor. A good woman. I hold her in the highest esteem, but let’s face it, she was no beauty queen.

King Hippo

Fortunately, she kept that mulish face buried in pussy most of the time!

What’s Scotchy pissed about?

The suddenly rising hobo population in Northern Ontario?

Nothing he can’t handle, just with the holiday crunch and all…

Brick Meathook

hey now, it could also be sommet about the Senators, and/or that Larry From Regina said
